Body building can happily have a confluence with mind if a diligent mix of yoga with it is practiced.
We can think of at least six reasons for attempting to do this.
1.) The acts of contraction by a muscle and the counteraction by another is what it is all about. Yoga does this with clockwork precision: Anatomy and physiology flowing together side by side, so to speak!
2.) The internal organs are always taken into account in Yoga. Yoga aligns the body parts that have every reason to fall apart with all the activities involving them in bodybuilding. As time goes by, every bodybuilder feelsthat their muscles and joints are not what they used to be. Yogic postures can correct these anomalies by addressing specific problems pertaining to specific muscles and joints.
3.) The air that we breathe is carried by blood to every cell of the body. The oxygen that is fed to the tissues facilitate the stretching of muscles and contracting them. There are elaborate breaching exercises in the Yoga that involve some distinct techniques that could aid in the easy flow of oxygen to every part of the body.
4.) A bodybuilder is always prone to injuries. Injuries are taken care of as a corollary of the main yogic exercise and you do not need to do some exercise particularly for the purpose. The postures can heal the injury by focusing on the injured parts. A suppleness is brought to the tendons and ligaments. Injuries can also be prevented by these exercises.
5.) Yoga postures makes the blood flow evenly and the circulation reaches its optimum with a number of Yogic postures.
6.) As you start the training session with Yoga, so could you end it with them. Blood flow which could have become uneven due to the pressure of bodybuilding exercises, will be brought back to normal and in cases where needed by the supplementary yogic exercises.
